is john boehner right? >> no. look, it's a law that does a lot of things with the health care system. it's not predominantly a fiscal issue, in that that when the government does anything, it affects taxes. if you're the president you have no incentive to allow the health care law to be on the table in these negotiations. maybe on the edges there are a few spending programs you're willing to negotiate over. but in terms of the health insurance mandate and exchanges, all the things in this complicated law that passed two years ago, you're really going to draw the line and say, we're not going to reopen that debate. we won the election, so sorry, john. that said, there are specific programs in there that might be part of the spending negotiations that take place. >> you know, kristen, politically speaking, doesn't this add another wrinkle to an already difficult negotiation process ahead? >> i think it absolutely does. i think to some extent speaker boehner might be sending a message to republicans in his conference

one thing that is giving folks hope, the fact that house speaker john boehner and eric cantor seem to be working more in lock step now than they were during the summer of 2011. if that holds, it really could help the house of representatives to get on 3w0rd of some type of idea. >> we've heard from chairman bernanke and others. how much of a factor will the fed and the ceos of all these major companies be as we get closer to this major deadline? >> one of the questions is how do people react where all these tax increase, all these spending cuts take effect. if there's no deal in the middle of december, say, do we start to see some real impacts? do companies start slowing their capital spending plans, do they start holding up on hiring. there's a risk that there could be economic damage even if there is a deal by january 1. maybe we haven't reached full agreement yet but we're close. we're almost there. i think having a sense that there's momentum and things are going the right direction is important for business confidence and getting through this without any economic downturn. >> nei

and john boehner, for instance, putsing health care reform on the table is really an outlandish one, but all he's trying to do is widen the parameter to work out a deal. it is like the game of chicken and sometimes you lose the game. they are jeopardizing our economy. >> wanda, what do you think the agreement will look like? do you think republicans will abandon the call to the likes of glover norquist and others to not let the bush tax cuts expire? >> i wish i knew all the terms of the deal. right now we are hearing from hill democrats is that republicans are not willing to put any deal on the table that the president would be in favor of. it's a big issue. i think we'll see something but to your point, we see that deal-making in washington is very often in the 11th hour. i would not be surprised to see this drag out until the very last minute as we see so often here in washington. >> which means we'll have you both back at some point. in the meantime, get out to enjoy your thanksgiving. appreciate it. >>> survivors of hurricane sandy and aid workers are being remembered this holida
